How do I get lombok to work with Visual Studio Code?

Question

I have a java gradle project in vscode, and I followed the instructions on the site to use the gradle plugin and the vscode lombok extension. However, vscode is still unable to resolve the lombok.Data java import. What am I missing?

Answer 1

Use next plugin Lombok Annotations Support for VS Code

Answer 2

Turns out I had to run the following command in VS Code:

> Java: Clean the Java language server workspace

Answer 3

Try to exclude transitive dependency for better control

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
  <exclusions>
    <exclusion>
      <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-logging</artifactId>
    </exclusion>
  </exclusions>
</dependency>

I am using VScode editor try to add lombok for from the extension window. After that clean the workspace it worked for me.

Answer 4

A note appeared on the VS Code Lombok plugin:

Starting from 1.8.0, the Language Support for Java(TM) by RedHat extension has built-in support for Lombok and automatically uses the lombok.jar from your project classpath. The embedded lombok.jar in the vscode-lombok extension will be deprecated in favor of RedHat Java extension.

There's a settings in settings.json to control this feature:

"java.jdt.ls.lombokSupport.enabled": true
